"Rifa is authentic and exceptionally effective in her quest in bringing the best out of others particularly women and people of colour pushing ahead in business. She has pretty much faced everything already and dealt with it within the creative industry."

"Finding a mentor in Rifa gave me the guidance I needed to pursue my goals for my production company. Rifa's techniques broke through the noise so I could give myself permission to thrive as an artist and create spaces for others to pursue their dreams too."

"The 3-hour blast session with Rifa was truly transformative. I not only feel confident in how to proceed in working towards my goals, I am doing so in an authentic and honest manner. Magic was promised at the start of the session and this began to manifest almost immediately."

"I love Rifa's style of mentoring. It's warm, practical and no-nonsense. She is the best cheerleader you can hope for, and knows how to leave you feeling like the best version of yourself, inspired, powerful and with a clear actionable plan. I often have top-up sessions with her, just to make sure I am staying on track." 

"The sessions helped me to develop a structured approach to identifying the path to where I wish to be, in a way giving me permission to aim high and to not undersell myself. Rifa made sure the outlook was more holistic – my focus was so strongly on career that perhaps I would overlook personal life and passions to a degree as not the immediate focus, yet key to overall wellbeing."

"A huge thank you to Rifa for her amazing coaching session. I had so many real breakthroughs. This week I'm feeling like I have a huge weight come off my shoulders and I have much more clarity on which direction my business can go in. What a magician!"

"To create such a loving and supportive feeling on zoom calls was really impressive and such a highlight of my week. The tools Rifa guided us through feel both practical and high vibe and I'm really enjoying using them since the course. Thanks so much for putting together such a beautiful experience."

"Rifa is amazing at making you feel supported and heard whilst pushing you to dig deeper each time you attend a session with her. She gets results! Everyone needs a Rifa in their lives."

"Thank you very much for the coaching session today. I have been shown a lot of blind spots that in all those years of working with business mentors I didn’t see. Thanks again."

"Rifa really helped me get in the right mindset to feel top of my game for a seminar I led a few months back. I gifted my daughter a coaching session, to help her get new-job ready. I even recommended Rifa to one of my clients. Rifa is empowering, practical and really listened to my needs and barriers. I'm a big fan." 

"What I love most about collaborating with Rifa is her abundance of passion, energy and drive. You have no choice but to be inspired when you’re speaking to her! I know I can always rely on Rifa to give me excellent advice, as well as stand up for what’s right. Her commitment to fairness, equality and raising the profile of under-represented groups makes her a much needed force for change across the tech sector and beyond. If you get the chance to work with Rifa, go for it."

"My three hour blast session with Rifa was really fun, intentional and powerful. I emerged with a renewed sense of self-value, clarity about the future I want to create, where to put my energy and what actions to take. Above all I was left with a lovely sense of effortless abundance – an ease and peace about achieving these future goals, with no sense of struggle or suffering to get there. The session switched me from reactive mode (feeling at the mercy of my circumstances) to a new creative mode - a practice of focussing on the good stuff - creating the year / the week / the day. This shift in focus has been really energising and brought new unexpected opportunities already. Thanks Rifa!"

"Rifa has brilliant insight and energy which she brings to coaching sessions. She's able to tailor the approach to meet your needs and ensure that you come out of it with clear actions and next steps to make a positive shift change in your working life."

"I absolutely recommend a session with Rifa. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was a real eye opener for me, I came away with a fresh look at my project and a renewed sense of my skills."

"I had the pleasure of booking a session with Rifa to try and get some much-needed direction and insight on where I needed to focus myself and my business. She has such a lovely way of connecting and you know deep down when you are in a session with her that it was TOTALLY the right decision and suddenly there you are, finding all the answers to those questions! Utterly brilliant and what she does and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rifa to anyone who needs a little help finding North. She is magical!"

"At the start of May 2020, I had an intensive 3-hour session with Rifa, at the time I had lost 95% of my work. 2 months later I have a new business, working with a fantastic team and great new clients."

"I've admired Rifa's work in business, community, diversity and many other fields from the sidelines, but my respect for her went to another level when she became my coach. Life can be overwhelming when you decide to upend your life for the second time in 18 months (like I did) and go solo on a new career path. Having Rifa in my corner has kept me calm, helped me form a fantastic strategy and a plan to put that into action, step by step. I can't recommend any more highly."

"I would highly recommend working with Rifa. She is super inspiring, encouraging and I felt really comfortable opening up to her. She has a lot of experience and has built a great community in Brighton and beyond. Her combination of coaching and practice of meditation is very effective. Thanks Rifa!"

"Rifa has the exact energy, enthusiasm, and support I need at this stage in my life. I'm a tough customer, 100% self-made, hard-working, always thinking that 'I know' the answer, often getting in my own way... Rifa has a way of breaking through your bulls*** to get to your true self-vision and goals. She gives permission to help you move at your own pace, while celebrating every success along the way, especially those unseen by you. Gently persistent, she's helped me adjust to myself in ways I was not expecting.  I know that she will be at my side, a consummate guide and champion for this woman of color, as I keep reaching for, re-evaluating, and achieving the things I envision for myself, my work, my life, and my legacy."

"Rifa, I just wanted to thank you so much for Friday. Everything I've done with you has been incredibly soulful, restorative and inspiring, urging me towards shaping my life in a way that deeply reflects my values and the person I want to continue becoming."

"Rifa is one of the most inspiring and effective coaches I have had the pleasure to meet.  Apart from being an excellent professional, Rifa has a gift to coach you in a smooth way that supports you in the search for clarity and innovative answers. I was in awe of how transformative her workshop was for my professional practice as an artist and creative. It was actually kind of magic the way she helped each of us to realise what strengths to build on to and what we had to modify to fulfill our goals. Also, she is passionate about helping people with building thriving collaborations and professional networking. Working with Rifa will transform your life."

"I had an amazing 3-hour blast with Rifa, looking at my website home page and packages to suit different budgets and needs. I wanted to create a sliding scale of packages at various price points that was also clear to understand. During my blast Rifa totally nailed everything and more and I don’t have to go round in circles thinking about packages any more!"

"I’ve had the immense pleasure of interviewing Rifa on my podcast and witnessing her in action as a host at Projects. Rifa is an exceptional individual - her kindness and genuine passion for people radiates in everything she does. She’s a big-picture thinker with the unique ability to bring people together, championing them and guiding them with remarkable clarity towards achieving their goals.Rifa is visionary in her approach, seeing beyond the immediate to cultivate connections and create meaningful impact. She is not only a skilful connector but also an outstanding ambassador, representing every cause she believes in with integrity and enthusiasm. Her energy, insight and commitment to helping others are truly inspiring and I feel privileged to have met her! If you are fortunate enough to collaborate with Rifa, you’ll quickly realise she is someone who inspires confidence, nurtures growth and creates lasting, positive change."

Thanks so much for your beautiful workshop last week! It felt like such a beautifully safe container and I love how you uniquely melded multiple different elements together. I also love how you went around the circle allowing each of us to share uniquely where we're at and making space for all of us to chime in with any practical support or insight. I just love the incorporation of spiritual trust and alignment so it all just felt truly magical, as well as giving us space to feel playful and carefree in our bodies without judgement. I'm super grateful I got to be part of it. I'll definitely book that clarity call when I'm feeling a bit less overloaded!
